Exploring Paris

Last week Miles and I went to Paris for a long weekend. It’s no secret that I am a real francophile, I love the language, the food and romanticism of France. It’s the country that I have visited most, I just seem to keep going back. We have been to Paris before 5 years a go, way back when both Miles and were students, so this visit was very different to the last. Most notably, we could afford meals out, something we didn’t have the luxury of last time. We made do with bread and snacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Anyway, student days aside here is a run down of our trip in photos.

You may notice a lack of Eiffel Tower etc shots, sorry Miles and made the decision, having explored the main tourist attractions last time to try to explore the lesser known and more unseen parts of the city. I love all the main attractions in Paris, but wanted to see more of the city that the residents see. This is why we hired bikes, went to parks, stayed in the East and eat at many places that only spoke French (he,he it was tough, we try our best). I have to say thank you to Hip Paris as I followed the restaurant reviews and guides to the word. We ate at The Rose Bakery, Pramil, Coco Cook and Le Temps au Temps – all on Hip Paris’ recommendation and loved them all! I love being able to find a blog like this that I feel I have a lot in common with and can use it as a real resource. More Paris to come.
